Emerging from the Japanese ambassador's residence early Thursday afternoon, Roman Catholic Archbishop Juan Luis Cipriani said that "we are headed toward finding the light of a peaceful solution." Cipriani did not say whether a definite date for talks had been set, but noted that efforts to free the 72 remaining hostages had "advanced positively."

President Reagan will travel every morning by covered motor launch across the Venetian lagoon from the plush Hotel Cipriani, where he will stay, to the tiny Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, situated directly across from the famous Piazza San Marco. The formal summit talks will take place in the bay-windowed, dark-paneled library of a 17th century Benedictine monastery on the miniature island. Security will be so tight that the traditional photograph of the summit leaders will...
